Description: Unfold the Future with findings from the 20th AUTEX. In the textile industrial sector, fibrous materials are more and more important and omnipresent, and AUTEX was the platform to collect the state-of-the-art contributions related to textiles, from materials to technology, from design to merchandising, from education to products, from sustainability to a circular economy, thus revealing and unfolding the future of this industrial sector for readers. The conference took place on September 5-9, 2021, in Portugal, and is recognized as a reference among the textile scientific community gathering a large number of researchers every year.

Description:

Fibers and fabrics are currently often used as a reinforcing element in the production of various composite materials, which are often used in mechanical engineering and in the construction sector. A separate chapter is devoted to textile reinforcing materials.

Environmental problems in textile production are mainly related to the dyeing process and the chemical treatment of fabrics and fibers. Some aspects of textile dyeing and wastewater treatment processes are also discussed in this publication.
